Artist: Gregory Alan Isakov
Song: Desdemone (temporary title)
Album: Unreleased
Tabbed By: Jo Lefebure

Notes:

* This was tabbed using the following YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p89c-bfAug

* Fiddle around with a G and listen to the rhythm to figure it out.
* I can't find the name of the second chord, so I'll call it G+.
* Gregory also plays an open variation of this chord, which I'll call Gsus4.
* During the intro and in between the verses, he plays the G power chord.
* Throughout the verses he plays an open G. Just watch his hands in the video.
* Since this is an unreleased song, the lyrics might be off.
* Please rate the tab, not the lyrics. Thank you!

[Intro]

G G+ G G+ G G+ G


[Verse]

G G+ G
Oh Desdemone
C/G
She don't sleep
D/A C/G
She just smokes and stares at the stars
G G++ G
Falling on her street

G Gsus4 G
She knows
C/G
The night so long
D/A C/G
Then she tells me that each hour (?)
G Gsus4 G
Has its own song


[Chorus]

Em C/G
And if I drift
G Gsus4 G
Give me a shake
Em C/G
And just hold my feet
G Gsus4 G
Until I wake
Em C/G
Until I wake
G Gsus4 G
The dream of you

C/G D/A
Would you save me please
C/G
When I come back for you


[Instrumental break]

G G+ G G+ G G+ G
Em C/G G Gsus4 G
Em C/G G Gsus4 G


[Verse]

G Gsus4 G
She's got nine years (?)
C/G
All over this town
D/A C/G
I can't scratch my back
G Gsus4 G
Without being found out

G Gsus4 G
Now I'm packing up
C/G
Headed west
D/A C/G
Where I don't deal no good (?)
G Gsus4 G
But I feel my best


[Chorus]

Em C/G
And if I drift
G Gsus4 G
Give me a shake
Em C/G
And just hold my feet
G Gsus4 G
Until I wake
Em C/G
Until I wake
G Gsus4 G
The dream of you

C/G D/A C/G
Would you save me please


[Instrumental break]

G G+ G G+ G G+ G
Em C/G G Gsus4 G
Em C/G G Gsus4 G
Em C/G G Gsus4 G

C/G D/A C/G
Would you save me please
